Art and Money / L'Art et l'Argent The fields, mods, ways of expression, new media, have raised and evolved a lot. Curiously the references are still those of painting and sculpture. The reference to static objects exposed free of charge remains a majority. The polemic around the P2P (I will not enter this debate here) has had, at least, the merit to enlight an obviousness: need for remunerating people who create. Any form of creation relies on the existence of a market with a production budget upstream and financial repercussions downstream. This elementary principle which governs, de facto, any form of activity, does not apply to arts…
Artists have the right to live too ( yes Sir!) Then they have to self produce, finance and manage their production and then, aftermath, find some market issues. Contrary to other forms of expression, they dont get financial support whether from art galleries (except for rare exceptions) or other structures and then the public get access to their works for free (finding it normal) and no one cares about the situation…
New fields/ ways of expression have raised which are also confronted with this difficulty.
